48. I agree. This is a police problem, not a caller issue

One thing that has been bothering me about this site is people seem to just want to pick on others and our "cultural trait" of picking and making fun of others for the fun of it, seems to have arrived.

That seems to be not only getting off the purpose of a board like this, but picking on people and dividing them is the Republican strategy.

This is not meant to call out those who are getting on the band wagon of blaming the caller. But to bring awareness of how we ourselves are kind of getting caught up in that which we don't like about the other party?
